Answer:

37.5 miles per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The traffic along a stretch road moves at an average speed that carried inversely as the number of cars

Average speed= k/number of cars.

When there are 1,500 cars the average speed is 45

The first step is to calculate the constant k

45= k/1500

k = 1,500 × 45

k= 67,500

Therefore the average speed when there are 1,800 cars can be calculated as follows

Average speed= 67,500/1,800

= 37.5 miles per hour

Hence the average speed is 37.5 moles per hour

m= \frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}  \\  \\ m= \frac{-2-2}{2-(-2)}  \\  \\ m= \frac{-4}{4}  \\  \\ m=-1


y=mx+b \\  \\ y=-1x+b


(2)=(-1)(-2)+b \\  \\ 2=2+b \\  \\ 0=b


y=-1x+0 \\  \\ y=-x
